Intro to NVIDIA Docker

To enable portability in Docker images that leverage GPUs, NVIDIA developed NVIDIA Docker, an open source project that provides a command line tool to mount the user mode components of the NVIDIA driver and the GPUs into the Docker container at launch. NVIDIA Docker is essentially a wrapper around Docker that transparently provisions a container with the necessary components to execute code on the GPU.

On the DGX and DLS machines, the Docker installed is actually the NVIDIA Docker.

NVIDIA Docker shares the same commands as the original Docker.
